Hello and happy Thursday!

Did you catch my post yesterday? I was running a bit late finishing it up, but wanted to keep up with my blogging schedule.

Today’s post was meant for Monday, but that’s ok…there’s never a wrong time to share Amazon purchases.

Here’s what I bought in April:

Well, quite a few of my purchases were for the kids’ Easter baskets.

After Andrea shared these shorts, I ordered a pair for Hayden. At this point, I don’t think he can have too many shorts as he changes in his clothes a couple of times a day thanks to running, workouts, and school.

I guess you can also not have too many golf balls!

For Hadley, I put this hair wax stick in her Easter basket. She had mentioned it previously and how it would help with some of her fly aways.

I thought these towels would be perfect so she doesn’t have to use two bigger towels after she dries off in the shower. She’s been using this hair wrap towel, and it’s been perfect.

I got both kids these microfiber towels…and well, of course, they aren’t that exciting of an Easter basket stuffer, but they do come in handy. They are great for drying off after a wet track meet or golf game.

I was “influenced” by this dress when it popped up on an Amazon ad. I’ve already worn it a few times, and I love the style and the length. I know I will wear it to school with a cardigan and this summer as well. It comes in many colors, and FYI – I did size down one, and it fits perfectly.

I needed more of my eye masks, so I placed another order for another pack of my “go to” ones.

This soap holder has been the perfect addition to my shower. My bar of soap kept sliding off the glass shelf in my shower which was driving me crazy! Now the soap stays put.

The back sticks to the shower, and you push the center for it to stick. That being said, the back of it is flat and not a suction cup. The instructions say it can be removed using a credit card or something to get behind it to pop it off the wall. So far, mine has stayed put and is just where I need it, so I haven’t needed or wanted to remove it.

This pack of soap savers came were also just what I needed for the soap holder.

I’ve also placed a couple of orders for our bathroom update including this rug/bath mat:

…and these little plastic canisters. I actually ordered a three pack and a four pack because I wanted to use them in the new bathroom as well as in our other two bathrooms.

I’m obsessed with this little part of our new bathroom:

I ordered new shower steamers that the kids can use when they take showers. I’ve ordered this pack a few times, and I love how colorful and fragrant they are. I used the remaining canisters for cotton balls and Q-tips in my bathroom closet as well as in Trav/Hayden’s bathroom. I’m so glad I got plastic canisters rather than glass ones which is what I originally thought I wanted…because I’ve already dropped the lids on these a time or two…and nothing has broken!

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Our weather was so dreary here! Let’s just say that spring break hasn’t started with sunshine!?

Thanks so much for the prayers and good vibes from Travis on Friday. His surgery went well, and he’s been recovering this weekend. Hopefully, he’s good to go!

It’s the first Monday of the month, so I’m sharing my Amazon purchases.

I included this meme because it’s the other way around…Trav has had some Amazon purchases lately. haha

Hadley and I went to Louisville a couple of weeks ago for my niece’s bridal shower. I think this was the first time I’ve ordered from an Amazon wedding registry, and I ten out of ten recommend.

On her registry, she had these freezer trays for meal prep, and…

...this three tiered serving tray. The tray brought back a memory I’d forgotten about….just that we had a three tiered tray on our wedding registry. I still occasionally use it and…twenty years later, I’m buying a serving tray for the flower girl in my wedding.

Travis and Hayden have been getting into my workout bands, and I needed a new set. Truly, I’d had my other set for a few years, but they’ve been using a few bands, and where have they gone? Probably in Hayden’s track bag or somewhere, but not where they are supposed to be. So, I actually ordered two sets…one for me, and one for them.

I needed a new pill box, so I ordered this colorful one.

My new set of jumbo paperclips have been the perfect replacement for the ones that I’ve apparently used or lost this year!

I already had this sweater in beige, and I ordered another in black. It’s the perfect staple and amazing quality. The price…less than $15. Can you believe it? Again, ten out of ten recommend.

So, I have this blouse in another color that I ordered it last year. I wear it a lot in the fall and spring. Well, I ordered the blue and white stripe, but bonus…this version has pockets!

I bought these linen pants in gray last summer, and then ordered them in navy recently. They have been perfect to wear to school with both of the tops above.

My favorite tumbler was on sale, so I ordered the “sea glass sage” color. I’m still using my lilac one, but since I’ve used it every day for almost two years, it’s been dropped, dinged and scratched a few times. The Simply Modern brand has sooo many cute colors and patterns.

Trav ordered Hayden some socks because he can never have too many!

I’m not sure how much I will post this week, but for sure I’ll be back for Friday Favorites!

What’s your latest Amazon purchase?

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Ours was a busy but good one. Friday after school, I was in my pajamas as quickly as possible! Saturday and Sunday, Hadley had a volleyball tournament, but at least it was in town, so we didn’t have to travel. Saturday night was just what I needed after my 6:00 alarm; I binged Southern Charm and went to bed at a decent time. Thankfully, the Sunday volleyball call time wasn’t 7 am like on Saturday, and Hadley’s team played well!

We’re gearing up for a great week ahead.

Today, I’m sharing my February Amazon purchases.

I saw this meme and it made me laugh!

This month’s Amazon purchases can be put into two categories: “school” or “re-order.”

School:

My Expo spray for my white board was running low, so I turned to Amazon and saw these cleaning wipes. They’ve worked out great!

I’ve had a cute Golden Girls key chain for quite a few years, but if I don’t have pockets, I have to hold on to my keys when I leave my classroom. This Scrunchie key ring is cute and just what I needed.

I’m hoping this pack of sticky notes will get me through the rest of the school year.

I’ve ordered this colorful pack of small (5×8)notepads in the past, and they are my favorite. I keep a couple at home, one in my school bag and one in my desk drawer. They are the perfect size to use to jot down notes and makes lists.

Re-orders:

Well, I guess the note pads above are a re-order, but my other re-orders are beauty products including…

This brow wand that both Hadley and I use to fluff up our eyebrows.

Speaking of Hadley, she bought this blush…

…and this contour wand again. I have both as well, but I don’t use them as much as she does.

This is my second time ordering this “honey milk” to I use before putting on my facial serums in the morning and before bed. I guess I could buy the bigger one,but the $8 price tag for the smaller one that lasts me about a month has been working for me.

Another month, and another order of my favorite under eye masks. They help me start my day off right. I ordered another pack of these as well, but I typically keep them with my travel skincare. Since they are in individual packages, I like taking them to use and throw away as I go.

Do you have a Prime purchase that you often re-order?

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Well, this is the second month that I thought I’d post my Prime Purchases on the first Monday of the month like usual, but then never had time to hit “publish.” So, today, I’m sharing my Amazon purchases from January.

I’d seen this vest floating around in my Instagram ads, and finally purchased it when the weather was cold and snowy! I’ve worn it quite a few times, and I like that it’s heavy enough to keep me warm, but it doesn’t make me hot. I’ve also worn it in place of a coat which has been nice…especially when running errands or sitting at a volleyball tournament.

With my dry skin, I added this “honey milk” to my skincare routine. It’s been a nice dose of hydration before I put on my serum!

I ordered this Touchland pack with two hand sanitizers and one case. ‘Tis the season for all the germs, so I wanted to ramp up my hand sanitizing. I keep one in my desk drawer and then one, with the case, in my purse.

Both of these scents are so nice!

I replaced the Bento boxes I got in December as a gift because the lids wouldn’t stay on. These have been perfect…the compartments are just the right size, and the lids stay securely fastened!

I always use very subtle eye shadow, and I wanted to try this liquid eye shadow. I love it! This is such a pretty color and the application is easy. I’ve noticed that the eye shadow stays on a lot longer too.

When I’m not wearing these sunglasses, I’m wearing these black ones. Well, I misplaced them, so when I went to re-order them, I got the two pack. I love these light-weight sunglasses.

Travis heard me fussing and cussing a bit about the mess I was making trying to drain the cooked ground beef. He heard my cries, and ordered this clip on strainer! It’s been the perfect solution!

Hadley had a couple of orders this month including these hair clips…

…and this “octobuddy” for her phone. I knew these existed as a way to mount your phone, but I didn’t think about sticking things to the little octo feet. Now, I’ve noticed the teens sticking their Air Pods or debit cards to their phones this way. Such a cool little invention…

So, those were my purchases this month! What have you “Primed” lately?

Hello!

Well, I had good intentions of sharing this post yesterday, but the weekend got the best of me.

We had a lot of harsh winter weather Sunday and Monday. We got about six inches of snow on Sunday followed by ice. Yesterday was another blustery day with additional snow. The kids did make the most of it going sledding with friends both days.

As of now, we’re out of school today and tomorrow. Yesterday was a teacher work day that got canceled. I never thought we’d have an extended winter break, yet here we are!

I was bummed when Tanya announced she was discontinuing her monthly Prime Purchases link up, but I still plan on sharing my purchases once a month…most likely on the first Monday. That just makes for easy blog planning.

Well, I have quite a few purchases, some of which were purchased in November. I just held off sharing them because I didn’t want to ruin any gifts for family!

Gifts:

When I was with my dad in July to help him after his knee surgery, I noticed that he really could use some new dish towels. He never asks for anything, so I just “book marked” that idea for Christmas.

I got him this pack of six kitchen towels. They are thick, great quality, and come in a variety of color combos.

He changes his sheets once a week, but only has one pair of sheets. So, I got him this set. Now, they aren’t his “My Pillow” brand that he loves, but these are great quality and had over 363,000 reviews, so I felt like they were a safe bet.

The Major gives his seal of approval!

My Gma requested a tumbler, and I got her this pretty light purple one by Owala. I’ve seen lots of people using this brand now.

Hadley needed a new winter coat, and this one was on her wish list. It’s puffer coat but not too thick. It seems like it’s a popular option on Amazon, and it comes in a variety of colors.

I put this face wash in Hayden’s stocking. To my knowledge, he is actually using it. haha.

Both kids needed new winter gloves, so I got Hayden the black ones, and Hadley got the gray ones. These were supposed to go in their stockings, but they were the one thing that didn’t fit..and they both came in slim boxes, so I just wrapped them for them to open.

Trav got an Apple watch recently and didn’t like the band. So, I bought him this pack, and it’s just what he wanted. This was a good stocking stuffer for him.

My brother came over a few weeks ago, and he was wearing these joggers. I needed one more gift for Trav and thought he’d like them. They come in a variety of colors. Trav has already worn his new pair a few times.

Have I mentioned Trav is hard to buy for?…and he always asks for the most basic things. He wanted a cotton long sleeve t-shirt, and one day after school, the kids and I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to look for one. There wasn’t a single plan basic long-sleeved cotton T-shirt to be found!

Well, “OG” Russell Athletics and Amazon saved the day. Can’t beat the less than $9 price on these shirts. He was a good guy this year, so I sprung and bought him two different colors! haha

Trav’s mom needed a suggestion, and again, he had asked for a basic gray sweatshirt. I had seen some at Old Navy, but then I realized sending her one via Amazon would probably just be a lot easier for all.

Hane’s saves the day with a less than $12 basic!

I’d never seen the Stanley beer Stein, but I figured Travis would get some use out of it.

Other:

Last year, I got these same flats in black, and I still wear them all the time. I have two pairs of tan flats that I rarely wear, so I bought this pair that I knew I’d wear to replace those two. I’ve added them to my donation pile now that I have this pair.

My black ones are my usual size 9, but the tan 9 was too tight. I guess they fit, but I wasn’t convinced that I wouldn’t get a blister. So, I returned them and ordered the 9.5, and they fit much better.

These are truly a great flat that come in many colors. I have my eye on the leopard to replace my Walmart leopard pair that I’ve had for years.

We got this power strip for Trav’s side of the bed. He needed an easier way to charge his phone…and he can plug his watch in there too.

We throw a blanket on the bed for if/when Homer hops up there to sleep. We’ve used the same one for years, and it has holes in it. I’ve gotten a couple of these blankets in the past for the living room, so I picked up a light color one for our bed to replace Homer’s old one. This is a great blanket for $12!

Like most January’s, I try and take an Amazon break. That being said, I ordered a coat for Hayden that arrived just in time for all the snowfall. These teens, they hardly wear coats, so I never know they’ve outgrown one until the temps drop and snow falls. (Hayden’s coat was $50 when I ordered it…I’m assuming the price went up thanks to the winter storms sweeping the country!)

What have you “primed” lately?

Hello and happy Monday!…except now that it’s Monday, that means Thanksgiving break is over, and it’s time to head back to school. That’s ok because I actually like December at school. I feel like the weeks usually fly by as we wrap up first semester.

Speaking of “flying by,” how is it December?! I’m linking up with Tanya to share my recent Amazon purchases.

This month’s post has quite a few purchases thanks to the kids’ birthday and prepping for Christmas.

I needed file folders for school, so I bought this pack. So much of what we do is digital, but I still have plenty of hard copies to keep up with in my filing cabinet.

I loved my fall “Cozy Girl” coloring book so much that I purchased the Christmas version. It’s just as cute as the fall one.

Bummer! BOTH pencil trees that I have (but have had for four – five years) needed some help in the light department. I bought two packs of these hundred bulb strands to use on mine and Hadley’s bedroom trees. They worked perfectly for what we needed.

I’ve had these remote controlled outlets for quite a few years, and I purchased another pack because Hadley wanted one for her room. I’ll use the other two for our outside lights.

This set of three is truly so handy. From my original set, I use one for the Christmas tree in the living room, one for the set of trees on the chest in the living room, and then the last one for the tree in the bedroom. I just use the remote to click them on/off in the morning and then before bed at night.

Well, my life changed forever when this label maker arrived! I actually had it on my list as a suggestion for Christmas, but once I got out all my Christmas decor, and I have quite a few remote controls (like for the set above), that I wanted to get organized. I use the app on my phone and then it prints! I’ve been a labeling fool since it arrived!

Hadley requested these slides for her birthday. They are a great price and all the rage for teens!

Hadley also had this cute little cotton bag on her birthday list. The price is less than $9 and such good quality. I filled it with cosmetic things she uses which was a good refill for what she needed.

One of the things I put in her bag was this blush stick by e.l.f.

One of Hayden’s requests was this brush to clean his golf clubs. He’s really into golfing this year!

‘Tis the season for shopping…and finding good deals! I’ve purchased a few things via Amazon, but they are Christmas gifts. I never know who reads my blog, so I don’t want to give anything away!

It’s Cyber Monday, so I’m sure Amazon will have some great deals!

In case you missed my last “gratitude” post on Saturday, here it is.

Happy shopping,

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Ours was really good. As how the last few weekends have been…Saturday was busy and Sunday had a little more downtime to prepare for the week ahead.

It’s the first Monday of the month, so I’m linking up with Tanya to share my Amazon purchases this month.

This month, I had a few new things, but more than half of my purchases were repeat purchases.

Repeat purchases:

Hadley and I both still love the “Magic Wand” for fluffy and shaping our eyebrows.

A couple of weeks ago, I thought I lost my favorite sunglasses, so I ordered them again. Then, later in the week, I found my original pair. For less that $10, I think it’s good to have a couple of pairs of these.

Here I am wearing them at Keeneland a couple of weeks ago:

I’ve been using this same meal planner for a few years, and I only have to order it once a year. It sticks to our fridge, and it’s where I write what we have going on the for the week, what we’re having for dinner, and my grocery shopping list. I can’t recommend it enough!

I guess I probably share these under eye patches every month because there’s thirty sets of patches! I keep them in the fridge, and they are a part of my morning routine while I drink my coffee.

This is the third time I’ve ordered this retinol stick, and I use it morning and night. (It has a $3 coupon right now)

I shared that I ordered this blouse in blue last month and sized up just not knowing how it would fit.

Well, there was a “flash sale” on the blouse, and I ordered it in my regular size. Honestly, since it’s a flowy top, there’s not much difference in the fit. Once the weather cooled off a bit and I’m back to wearing pants a bit more often (bummer!), I realized I could use a few more work basics in my closet. This blouse comes in so many colors, and I know I will wear with them with jeans too.

New purchases:

Shay “influenced” me with one of her Saturday fall posts, and I ordered the “Cozy Girl” coloring book. Don’t be surprised if next month, I’m sharing that I purchased the Christmas themed one.

Of course, that meant I needed a set of markers, and these have been perfect for coloring pages when I can. Coloring is so therapeutic for me. I really think the coloring book and markers would be fun stocking stuffers or small gifts for tweens and teens.

Fun fact about Hadley…she knows how to order from Amazon. haha

She needed another charging cable, and ordered this “fast charging 10 ft” two pack.

I got a new phone last spring, and I’m rough on my phone…so I was in need a of new screen protector. I grabbed this three pack because I’m sure it won’t be the last time I need a new protector.

What have you primed lately?

Well, this Monday kind of feels like a weird one knowing we don’t have school tomorrow because of Election day.

I’m happy to have an extra day off, but I’m even happier to hopefully not receive any more calls and texts in regards to candidates and voting!

Also, hop over to my other post for the day as I’m continuing with the “gratitude challenge” for November!
